Product Description

Product Description
Contraband follows a young man's journey into a new "voyeur underground", where profit-hungry youths prowl streets, secretly filming radical events with mobile devices to satisfy society's demand for sensational on-the-go content. To enhance the "fully interactive experience," key elements of modern wireless communication are woven throughout the work - including text messaging, online blogging, avatars and alerts, and gaming and live video broadcast.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Sci-fi Thriller..., 16 Sep 2007
By S. Houle (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Spotted this in Comics International last month...

"Contraband has a great underlying premise, based around the use/misuse of camera phones, loss of privacy and the boom in the spy cam industry that this generates. That's probably enough for a story, but TJ Behe goes further, weaving an interesting plot around an abducted girl. This is a great sci-fi thriller, written by someone who knows a lot about mobile technology. However, the real stroke of genius was to enlist Phil Elliott as the artist. This adds another twist to the story, giving it a clean and unique feel. Rather than being another dark cyberpunk comic, the style is quite European and very inviting. The first chapter is currently free online and you can also view sketches and development work online too. LO 8/10"

4.0 out of 5 stars Can't put it down...fantastic !, 31 Mar 2008
By Alan Perestrello (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Just thought I would put this up quickly. I bought this through a friends recommendation and at first, was a bit wary about the format but I can honestly say that I'm now hooked. It's been a while since I last read a book, never mind a comic / graphic novel, that I could not put down. I found myself reading it today at lunch and can't wait to get to the end.

I understand that this is the author's first novel and I think that makes it even better. Fresh approach, totally up to date concept and a well thought out plot. Sure there are a few minor issues but overall, fantastic.

I'm already looking forward to the sequel !
